It took me a while to decide on a new roof, but Bryce was very patient. Never pushed for me to make a decision. Once I bit the bullet, the roof replacement was scheduled within 2 weeks.
The crew was very professional and correct. Will, … More the supervisor, checked in regularly to make sure there were no issues during the work. He even went to the store and replaced the vent cover in the master bathroom after it fell out due to the movement on the roof.
The new gutters will be installed in a few days, but I'm sure there will be no issues either.
Great company. Very competent crew. Competitive pricing (Olympus came in slightly higher, but they use well trained installation crews and the best materials. They also replaced the roof in 1 day, including clean up). Great customer service. Last but not least, Bryce is a very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy salesman.
Definitely recommend Olympus Roofing and Bryce Feist. -
Olympus was great. Joe Fackrell carefully inspected and photographed our roof and explained the work that needed to be done. He was also responsive to calls and texts. The crew was friendly and efficient. Cason did the final inspection, … More photographed the roof and explained the completed work. He answered all of our questions. The roof looks great! -
Olympus Roofing was great. This was our first re-roofing experience after living here since 2003. The old shingle roof was about 25 years old, showing signs of age, and when a leak developed after a moderate rain, we decided it was time … More to replace it. We sought several bids, but only a few companies responded, and Olympus was the ONLY one that bothered to come out and actually look at our roof and any special needs. All the others either responded strictly by looking at an a remote database of homes an estimating roof size and making assumptions without actually looking at our roof. We have a shallow pitch large roof so our situation was a little unique, and only Olympus made the effort to assess our real needs. The estimate was very fair and detailed. We went with a new “TPO” type roof since our roof pitch is shallow. They came out on a Friday and were done Saturday afternoon. They did a great cleanup and removed the debris trailer Saturday evening. We’re also working with them to coordinate some additional needed work on skylights and the surrounding facia. I’d highly recommend Olympus to anyone. They responded well to our needs, did great work, were very timely, cleaned up very well, and we’re very happy with the results. -
I was very happy with the entire process of having Olympus complete our roof replacement. The explanation of the materials and process was thorough. The estimate was fair compared to another bid we received. The time frame from the consultation … More to install was fast, so it was completed before bad weather became an issue. There was good communication through the process. The crew did the job in just over a day, and cleaned everything up very well. The roof looks beautiful and I'm glad we went with Olympus Roofing.
Ice Dam Removal / Heat Cable / Snow Retention Services Sandy and Salt Lake City
As local Sandy and Salt Lake City roofers, Olympus Roofing understands that our community receives it’s fair share of rain, hail, sleet and snow. According to the National Weather Service, the city of Salt Lake has received over 400 inches of snow during the 2022-2023 winter season, well above the national average. While white winters may be beautiful; snow, sleet and ice can cause a bit of havoc on your property, especially your roof.
The Olympus Roofing team has diligently been serving the greater Salt lake area for the last 20 years and in all those years we’ve recognized that ice dams are a common problem for homeowners in the area.
What Is An Ice Dam?
Dangers of Ice Dams
Ice dams place tremendous pressure on the roof structure of your home. The moisture of these dams also significantly damages your shingles, gutters and downspouts. Melting ice may cause leakages in your home if there are gaps and holes in your roofing system. And for those who are not careful, you also risk being hit by falling icicles and large chunks of ice breaking off as it heats up.
Ice dams form when warmth from within the home melts the bottom layer of the snow on the roof, sending water trickling down to the edge of the roof. Upon crossing the “heat wall” or an area where heat is no longer escaping the structure, the water freezes, clogging gutter and causing the water to pool. This may allow water to spider under the shingles as it freezes, eventually finding its way into the home. Installation of a bituminous waterproofing membrane referred to as “ice guard” alleviates this problem.
Effective Ice Dam Removal By Olympus Roofing
At Olympus Roofing, we believe that the safest and most effective way to remove ice dams is with the power of steam. Fighting fire with fire as some would say. The ice dam steaming system that we use functions using high temperatures but low pressure. The high temperatures effectively and efficiently melts the ice on your roof, this water either evaporates or drains away from your home. The low pressure of the steaming system protects your shingles as high pressure systems tend to chip away at your roofing materials.
